GVB Gimbal and 3 Low Cost Action Cameras

There are a ton of inexpensive action cameras available on the market and it is hard to figure out which perform best. So let’s have a quick look at 3: GVB Action Cam, Yi HD Action Cam, and ThiEYE i60 Action Cam. Each come in at about $100 USD.

Also, action cameras, just like any other camera, produce jerky and shaky looking video when you hold them by hand. Gimbals can help to stabilize your camera so that the video footage is smoother and more enjoyable to watch. In this episode, we also look at the GVB Action Camera Gimbal, an affordable entry-level 3 axis gimbal for GoPro Hero 4 and other cameras of the same size and weight.

Yi HD Action Camera Review

I have wanted an action cam for a long time, not because I’m an action sports enthusiast, but for cases where I need to mount a camera in a very tight spot or shoot some very wide angle behind-the-scenes footage. GoPros have been around for a long time, but my budget has always been allocated to other higher priority gear. So when the the $100 Yi Action Camera was sent to me for review, I was curious to see how well it would work for my type of shooting. Let’s have a look!

Yi also has a 4K action camera coming in the next couple of weeks which I'll be interested to review. It comes in at $250 USD and has an LCD screen.
